About Nicola
Nicola Ellis is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She combines a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, anger and related concerns. Nicola works in a straightforward, person-centred way that keeps the client’s pace and preferences central.
She describes her practice as integrative, drawing on client-centred principles alongside attachment and mindfulness ideas. Sessions focus on what matters now - managing strong feelings, improving communication, and handling life changes. Nicola uses simple, conversational approaches rather than formal jargon, and she supports people through practical steps as well as reflection.
Nicola also brings techniques from hypnotherapy and narrative work when these suit a person’s goals. That can help with recurring patterns, self-esteem, and changing how difficult memories are held. She is mindful of building a trusting working relationship before introducing new techniques.
Her approach suits people who want to address anger, relationship strain, addictive behaviours, or chronic stress. Nicola accepts international clients and offers ways to make counselling fit into everyday life. She asks prospective clients to use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to start the process.
Practical matters such as session cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Nicola aims to keep therapy practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve, with clear steps and regular checks on progress.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Nicola draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas alongside mindfulness in her online practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and strong emotions, helping people notice and shift repeated reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own solutions and feel more understood. Mindfulness approaches teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage moments of intense anger or anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Nicola works collaboratively to identify which methods suit each person’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the mix of listening, practical tools and experiential exercises as therapy progresses.
Session formats were not fully specified in the source biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats can use less bandwidth or no camera, which helps when someone prefers a quieter, lower-visibility session. Registered or accredited professionals vary in how they schedule and run sessions, and Nicola will outline practical arrangements during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
